Of course, no good deed goes unpunished. Articles have appeared explaining that India information workers are becoming too expensive, with both The Wall Street Journal and InfoWorld sending messages just as unsubtle as the Microsoft missive above. Nobody's jobs are safe if quarterly earnings could be adjusted by a penny it seems.

Let's not forget about the genesis of all these stories placed by corporate PR flacks into the MSM. You have seen the video of the attorney explaining how his firm can show Mister Employer how to break immigration law and not get caught when hiring overseas and avoiding qualified Americans, right? That "A" list material had to, at least in some small way, have been responsible for Congress cooling off on immigration reform and for scuttling the Real ID provisions buried within it. Thank you, Mister Lawyer; for once, Greed Was Good.
